Building a fairer, healthier world
We created Navigate to give the best advice to people who need it, to support physicians, to give people the tools to overcome. Together, we’re making the world a better place: let’s get to work.
Don’t let yourself be fooled by phony student loan advice
A big part of the work we do is help people not be “fooled” by the system or bad information. Even though the student loan industry has come a long way in a relatively short period of time (PSLF began in 2007, it’s still less than 20 years old!), it still has a poor track record due to the lack of information, arcane instructions, scant customer service advice.
You don’t need luck to maximize your tax savings
It’s tax season, and even if you don’t think you’ll find a “pot o’ gold” on April 15th, you can at least take steps to minimize the amount you owe to Uncle Sam. Fortunately enough, there’s no luck involved; you just have to know where to put your money. One smart step is to create your own little pot o’ gold by maximizing pre-tax contributions.
“The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.”
The first thing to know is that you have options. Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for various payment plans. That may impact how you decide you and your spouse file your taxes, jointly or separately. The latter may increase your taxes , but depending on your tax situation, it could be offset by savings in loan payments.

Set it and forget it?
A month ago we celebrated the new year—a time to make new plans and recommit to old ones—how are you doing with those? More specifically, when was the last time you checked to make sure you were “on track” with your student loan plans?
How could PSLF change under the Biden Administration?
There has been a lot of excitement and speculation around President Biden’s extension of the moratorium on student loan payments until October. One news source went so far as to publish a recent article titled “Biden’s Student Loan Freeze Shows Path to Erase Billions of Debt.” We know that Biden wants to address the student debt crisis, but we also want to be realistically optimistic about what that means. Your Navigate team is meeting with politicians on the Hill this week to discuss these very issues.

President Biden fulfilled his promise to extend student loan relief. That means that you don’t need to make payments until October, 2021.
